1972 Map of Pelion East

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Southern railroad line cuts through the heart of Lexington County, connecting the small communities of Edmund, Macedon, and Pelion during the early 1970s. The landscape is a network of small tributaries and numerous named impoundments, such as Crystal Springs Lake, Spires Pond, and Feigles Pond, which likely supported local agriculture or industry. Local social and spiritual life is anchored by numerous rural churches, including Mt Hebron Ch, Bethel Independent Ch, and New Hope Ch, many of which feature adjacent cemeteries that serve as vital records for genealogists. Evidence of specialized land use appears in the form of a Drag Strip and a Landing Strip, while the Hidden Valley Country Club and Sharpes Hill provide distinctive local landmarks. This survey captures a moment of transition for these rural settlements as they began to see more formalized recreation and infrastructure alongside traditional farming and timber interests.
